How to use this podcast

Hi. I’m Henrik, and this podcast is here to help you fall asleep.

I talk about almost anything here. Small observations. Big thoughts. Memories. Side tracks. Jokes. Things that don’t lead anywhere. Sometimes it’s calm. Sometimes it’s strange. Sometimes it’s engaging, even entertaining, and sometimes... well sometimes it's just ... meh. All of that belongs here.

You can listen while falling asleep, but you can also just listen. If you get curious, involved, amused, or pulled along by a thought, that’s fine. If you get bored or just feel indifferent about the whole thing, that's also fine. It's part of the method.

My view on sleep is simple: fighting wakefulness usually makes it stronger. Letting things be as they are often softens them.

You don’t have to try to sleep. You don’t have to try to follow either. Let your attention do whatever it wants. Drift in and out. Stay awake. Fall asleep. Wake up again.

I don’t use a script. I speak freely, and I let the episode become whatever it becomes. The words matter sometimes. The rhythm matters other times. Nothing needs to resolve.

Use new episodes or the same one every night. Stop halfway. Skip around. There’s no correct way to listen.

Things are allowed to be what they are.

That includes you.

Sleep tight.

/Henrik

A small Swedish-English place where I stand with my pockets full of half-working words, wondering if I have enough of them to carry us through the night. From there we somehow move toward a forest, an axe, m...

Rust, Moss and the End of the List

In this episode, Sleepy, I try to list everything in the universe before the hour is over. It starts well, with light, the moon, spoons and dust, but then reality becomes rude and starts unfolding in too many directions at once. There are atoms, hiccups, moss, mirrors, shadows, debt, mushrooms, rust...

Words That Wander Home

Tonight I fall into the strange little trapdoor between Swedish and English, Sleepy, where one word is perfectly innocent on one side of the sea and slightly alarming on the other. There will be Swedish words. Real ones. Suspicious ones. A few that sound rude but are mostly about road signs, ice cre...
